Answer:

Negative

Step-by-step explanation:

Lets look at it with numbers!

a=-2 , b=4

a*2b is -2*2(4)  ---> -2*8 ---> -16

If you multiple a negative and a negative it will be positive, but if you multiply a positive and a negative it will be negative;

+ * + = +

+ * - = -

- * -  = +

I hope this helps!

How can I solve this
Evgen [1.6K]

Answer:

\frac{a^{5}b }{x^{6} }

Step-by-step explanation:

you just need to forget about 0 because whole equation is raised to 0

and anything raise to 0 is 1

so

\frac{a^{5}b^{4}  }{x^{6}b^{3}  }  law of exponent a^{n} ÷ a^{m} = a^{n-m}

here b^{4} ÷ b^{3} = b^{4-3}

       = b^{1}

so the answer will be

\frac{a^{5}b }{x^{6} }

A rectangle has a base of 5 inches and a height of 7 inches. If the dimensions are cut in half, what will happen to the area of
Hunter-Best [27]
Area = base * height = 35 square inches
When we make the dimensions 2.5 by 3.5 then,area = 2.5 * 3.5 = 8.75 square inches
35 / 8.75 = 4So, when we reduce the width AND the height by 2, the area decreases by 4.Why?  Because when we are reducing 2 dimensions:area = width/ 2 * length / 2 = area / 4
